This is not the color I was led to believe it was from swatches online. I'm kind of disappointed about that. This color is much more green than a blue/green teal color. Once it is on the skin the color seems to deepen and become even greener. The color might be nice on someone with brown or hazel eyes, but it's not a good effect for blue eyes. The packaging is asinine and requires you to buy mini container and depot or waste a lot of product, but i'm not going to complain too much because there's a lot in that bottle. I can deal. The shimmer from all of these colors is unique; the effect is almost like foil. Stunning, pigmented, and easy to blend. This particular color is crap on me but the product is amazing.

This a like a dream come true.
1. Super pigmented
2. Dirty cheap. $2.99 each at Ulta and you can always get coupon for the store.
3. Great size. I like how the bottle is petite, which is great for storage and super cute. Honestly, I always wish the ones from MAC come in a smaller size, as you can never finish a jar and so expensive. It always makes me feel like I am wasting my money on extra product I don't need.
4. This color in particular is such a pretty turquoise. I am a NC 25 with a yellow undertone and fine myself looking more yellowish with certain turquoise on my eye. This one however looks great on me.
The only thing I don't like about this product is the package. It is super cute, but it is very hard to get the shadow out as the opening of the bottle is very narrow.

This is such a gorgeous greenish aqua blue shade (though I would say more on the blue than the green side) and the NYX Ultra Pearl Manias never cease to amaze me! I love using this for that "pop of color" with my neutral eye looks. Very pigmented and dirt cheap - $2.99! The only thing I do not like about these is the packaging.

i got a haul of NYX loose pearl shadows when they went on $1.99 sale and though i loved the colors, the mess and tapping it out of the tiny container was bothersome. then i saw a tutorial here on how to press and repan loose e/s and voila! Turqoise is a fave color, looks great on my summer tan MAC Lightful 35 and cooler N5. its more green than it is turqoisey, but its a lovely buildable color and v blendable too. Great on lids w blk winged liner and Apricot lipgloss (also by NYX).

These NYX pigments are amazing! When you use them wet they look like liquid metal, absolutely gorgeous. I don't use Turquoise as much as I wear my other colours but it doesn't make it any less beautiful. I prefer natural colours myself. When I do wear this I like to make a Turquoise smokey eye and it looks really good. I don't wear bright colours often as I think it clashes with my brown eyes but I'm sure those people with light eye colours would pull this off no problem. The container these come in are useless so what I do is buy empty lip balm containers with the screw top lid and put the pigments in there. Works perfectly and saves a lot of mess!

While this is yet another gorgeous color, I was expecting a bit more green just like everyone else. It's not bad by any means, just not a true turquoise. You can probably mix it with another green pigment and get it to the shade that you need though. I would still buy it again.

One of my favourite NYX loose pigment. It has a beautiful shimmery medium blue. Has to empty to small jar for easy access. :)

Gorgeous medium blue with nice shimmer. Easy to apply and blend. Perfect for day or night. Packaging is cute but very difficult to use. I transfered mine from the jar it came in to a seperate one from Michaels.

This is my favorite out of the pigments I purchased so far. Agree with others that this is more blue than turquoise green none the less very pretty and I would absolutely buy it again.

I wish this shade was more teal instead of blue; it looks almost identical to Ultra Pearl Ocean Blue but is SLIGHTLY darker with a hint of gold sparkles instead of the silvery sheen seen in Ocean Blue.
It's still a nice color, though.

I love this color! I mix it with my mixing medium to line my eyes with it or use it as a wash. It is very similar to the MAC Steel Blue pigment color.

I love this color!!! in the bottle it looks like a dark blue, but when you put it on its a beautiful blue green color.
It does sort of fade away after a little bit, so it is needed with a base to keep the color solid.

Another really pretty color! This is a nice very teal. Looks best if you layer it on for a deep look. This shadow is pigmented, even with a tiny bit. It has a nice shimmer. The bottle is tiny, and you can't get a brush inside the opening, but you don't even need to. I just use whats inside the lid, and the little bit that sticks to the outside of the opening. You can see it on me in my photo gallery.
The shadow is really fine, and goes on easy. A little bit goes a long way. Yet another great NYX eye shadow.

DDD NW45 or HIP#818.....Turquoise Pearl is a golden-turquoise shimmer pigment. One of my favorite turquoise/blue pigments. So gorgeous. A must have for those who love pigments. Blends/wears well over a base & MAC paint. Cost $2 at local beauty supply.****UPDATE:****When this is gone will repurchase BenNye Turquoise pigment.

It's a tiny bottle, but don't let that fool you! You only need a tiny bit, and personally I prefer these over mac pigments. They go on smoother, are cheaper, and wear for longer. The packaging is a little stubborn though. The neck opening is a bit too small for brushes, or at least to use them easily, but if you know if over tons of product can spill out. I tend to use what accumulates in the lid, or pour some out into the lid. It's much easier that way.
Despite the praise, the color wasn't for me, but it's still great product. It's more of a blue based tourquoise, and I was hoping it'd be more green.

These Ultra Pearl Mania loose shadows are a good buy for an eyeshadow junkie like myself--pretty good quality despite an ultra-low price tag and they come in a wide range of lovely, wearable colors. "Turquoise Pearl" is a medium denim blue (the base color is not quite green enough to be turquoise IMHO) with a touch of lime gold shimmer around the edges when you sheer it out a bit. The shimmer of these NYX powders is more like a fine sheen--they remind me of Bare Escentuals glimmers in that regard. You only need a little crumb of product to do your lid, which is good since the bottle is very small (smaller than MAC mini pigments, if that helps).
The pigmentation and texture are very good and surprisingly, this adheres to my lid without much smearing or fading. I found it difficult to wipe off with just water (had to use m/u remover) if that tells you anything. Really hate the packaging--it's a tiny, fragile plastic bottle (seems liable to crack easily) with an opening that is too small to dip a brush or applicator into, but big enough to allow lots of powder to spill out if you accidentally knock it over--very messy overall. The quality, lovely color and cheapness (I think around 3 USD but I swapped for this since NYX stuff is not available in my area) almost make up for the packaging. I like these enough that I'll try to hunt a few more down.
